My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 304: Three Triplets

Zhang Lei pulled them all into the living room and said earnestly, "These old things aren't worth much now, but in ten or twenty years, they'll become more and more valuable. By then, we'll be old, our children and grandchildren will be grown up, and we can retire in peace."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, all the women believed him without a doubt.

Ye Shuhua said emotionally, "Honey, you've worked so hard. You're already thinking about our retirement. We can't put all the burden on your shoulders."

Zhang Lei looked at her and said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? Having you all is my greatest happiness. Besides, I have the ability to do these things now, and I believe our future will be very bright."

Lou Xiao'e said with some worry, "Honey, why don't you stop risking collecting these things? I'll have my dad collect them and hide them for us."

Zhang Lei looked at Lou Xiao'e and said with a smile, "Alright, if you keep saying that, your dad will definitely come and chop me up with a knife."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard Zhang Lei say that.

Zhang Lei looked at them and explained gently, "Don't worry, everyone's busy filling their stomachs right now, nobody cares about these old things. This is a long-term investment for us. We're keeping these worthless things now, but when they become valuable, we can exchange them for a real, better life."

He patiently comforted them for a long time before finally calming them down.

That night, Chen Xueru walked up to Zhang Lei, somewhat embarrassed: "Honey, it was my fault today. I let things slip. Please punish me."

Zhang Lei smiled at her: "You said it yourself."

Chen Xueru nodded gently, with a hint of apology and a hint of expectation.

(Zhang Lei demonstrated the Awei Eighteen Styles... (omitting ten thousand words here...))

The next morning, Zhang Lei told Chen Xueru to rest at home, and then took Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, Ye Shuhua, Ding Qiunan, and Lou Xiao'e to Xiehe Hospital.

Having given prior notice, the group quickly and smoothly completed their medical examinations.

Ding Qiunan walked to Zhang Lei's side: "Honey, don't worry, the results will be out soon."

Not long after, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, Ye Shuhua, and Lou Xiao'e returned with their reports, all looking somewhat strange.

Zhang Lei stepped forward and grasped Ye Shuqin's hand: "Shuqin, how did it go?"

Ye Shuqin handed him the list: "Honey, take a look for yourself."

Zhang Lei was stunned when he saw this.

Ding Qiunan quickly took the form, and after reading the words on it, she exclaimed in surprise in a low voice, "Triplets? All three of them are triplets?"

The sound drew everyone's attention, and Ding Qiunan quickly lowered her voice, "Honey, this is a huge deal."

Zhang Lei was both surprised and delighted. He thought that having many children meant good fortune, and nine children had come all at once, not counting the children in Lou Xiao'e and Ding Qiunan's wombs.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the girls panicked and quickly whispered to him in his ear.

Zhang Lei finally snapped out of his daze, his lips curving into an uncontrollable smile as he exclaimed excitedly, "That's fantastic! You guys are amazing!"

Everyone then realized that he was so happy he was stunned.

Ignoring the stares of others, Zhang Lei smiled and kissed Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua respectively: "Come on, let's go home! From now on, you'll eat and drink well, and I'll personally serve you."

The three sisters looked blissful, but Lou Xiao'e, standing to the side, was somewhat indignant: "Husband, why can't I get pregnant with so many babies at once?"

Zhang Lei joked with a laugh, "There's nothing I can do, you don't have that gene. Those three sisters were already triplets, and if they had another set of triplets, three times three equals nine, so you'll have to take it slow."

Lou Xiao'e pouted: "You're just being biased! It must be because you're not ambitious that I only got pregnant with one child."

These words were too bold, and Zhang Lei quickly covered her mouth: "My dear aunt, don't say such things in public."

Everyone else couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

Ding Qiunan earnestly instructed, "Honey, those three are pregnant with triplets, so you must be extra careful. There's a high probability they'll need C-sections later on."

Zhang Lei nodded immediately: "I know. Have you checked the blood type? In case of severe bleeding during surgery, we must have blood ready in advance."

Ding Qiunan reassured her, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything. I guarantee everything will go smoothly. Peking Union Medical College Hospital is the best hospital in Beijing, with complete equipment and sufficient staff. With me here, there won't be any problems."

Zhang Lei felt a warmth in his heart and secretly resolved to support Ding Qiunan more in the future so that she could gain a foothold in the hospital.

Ding Qiunan returned to her post, and Zhang Lei took the four of them home. When they arrived home, Chen Xueru was still resting in bed.

Zhang Lei walked to the bedside and asked gently, "Wife, are you feeling better?"

Chen Xueru gave him a light glare.

Zhang Lei wasn't embarrassed at all, and shared the good news with a smile: "I have good news for you, Shuqin and the other two are all pregnant with triplets."

Chen Xueru's eyes widened instantly: "What? All three are triplets?"

"Yes, that's right." Zhang Lei said with a smug look on his face. "This is incredibly joyous news."

Chen Xueru gasped, "That's terrifying! How big must that belly be?"

The three Ye sisters walked over, smiling, and said, "No matter how old we are, we are willing to give birth to the head of the household."

Chen Xueru said helplessly, "It's only because you guys spoil him. I don't want to have that many children. One at most."

Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "That won't do. Our Zhang family is small, and we're relying on you to revitalize the family. Each of you should give birth to at least four or five children."

Chen Xueru did the math: "If one person has four or five children, how many children would that be?"

Zhang Lei laughed heartily: "No matter how many, I can afford to raise them all. Let's set a small goal first: to have a hundred."

Chen Xueru exclaimed in surprise, "A hundred? What do you take us for?"

Lou Xiao'e added from the side, "Sister Xue Ru, you're mistaken. He didn't say it would only be a few of us giving birth."

Chen Xueru then realized what was happening, and, both angry and amused, exclaimed, "You'll work yourself to death, you bastard!"

Zhang Lei teased her deliberately, "Looks like I didn't serve you well yesterday, let's continue tonight."

Chen Xueru quickly begged for forgiveness: "No, no, husband, I was wrong, okay?"

Hearing Chen Xueru plead for mercy, Zhang Lei deliberately teased her, "Don't worry, I love you so much, how could I easily... let you go?"

Chen Xueru was so frightened that she quickly begged for mercy: "Honey, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

Seeing Chen Xueru's flustered appearance and Zhang Lei's smug look, everyone burst into laughter.

Chen Xueru then realized she had been tricked and was so angry that she wanted to get up and "duel" with Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei quickly pressed her down on the bed and said softly, "Be good, don't get out of bed today, just rest well. Tell Auntie what you want to eat."

Watching Zhang Lei leave the bedroom, Chen Xueru could only obediently lie back on the bed, secretly complaining that she was too tired from being tormented by him yesterday.
